FARM AID 2012
SEPTEMBER 22, 2012
HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA

"Farm Aid 2012 was held at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, on September 22. A record crowd of more than 30,000 enjoyed performances by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds. Additional artists included Jack Johnson, Kenny Chesney, Jamey Johnson, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, ALO, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Pegi Young & the Survivors, and Dale Watson.

Our HOMEGROWN Concessions served local, organic and family-farm foods to concertgoers and backstage, including Pennsylvania cheese, ice cream made from milk from grass-fed cows, and, as always, all-natural ham steaks from Patchwork Family Farms from Missouri. Farm Aid 2012 featured the HOMEGROWN Youthmarket, a farmers market coordinated by GrowNYC Youth Market involving local FFA youth and farmers. In the HOMEGROWN Village, more than 30 food and farm groups offered concert-goers hands-on interactive experiences with soil, water, food, renewable energy and family farmers. As part of our greening efforts, waste from the concert is in the process of being turned into compost to sustain future crops. We also sold reusable aluminum water bottles to reduce plastic use. Concert t-shirts were made with certified organic cotton, grown by U.S. family farmers. Finally, we collected more than 12,000 pounds of food for Pennsylvania families in need."
